Even though the readability of javascript code gets denied drastically, overall stability and optimization of the code become great is Closure Compiler service is used. As a developer, both of them are concerned regarding the implementation of a production-ready code. Hence using Closure cannot be recommended if code readability comes first, as compiled infrastructure might not be good Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
As an open-source tool supported by Google, Closure Compiler does do the work as to be expected, that is to cross-compile javascript code to save the size. But still, it converts to a non-readable format. When it comes to development, code readability is important. Also, Closure looks for type checks too! This is a good feature, and cleaning dead codes from the program will save the memory efficiently, hence when readability is not a major concern, benefits are more.

Easy command-line execution, and efficient compiler to run the JS files by taking care of the size. Bug efficiency too helps to develop clean applications with fewer reported crashes and issues comparatively. File size reduction also helps the faster execution of the program. Opensource it is.
